Facebook group wants McMenamy's in Easton to stay open

More than 400 people on Facebook are trying to keep McMenamy's Hamburger House in Easton open after one of the restaurant's owners said it could be closed in several weeks.

More than 400 people on Facebook want to keep the iconic McMenamy's Hamburger House in Easton open after one of the restaurant's owners told The Enterprise Newspaper that it is closing.

Nancy Carter's father Frank McMenamy started the business as a butcher shop in 1954. It morphed into a popular restaurant. But the family business is owned by Carter and two other relatives who want to sell the restaurant and the quarter acre of property it sits on.

On Facebook Wednesday a post to keep McMenamy's open was liked by more than 400 people. It reads "This building sat just where it is now when Route 138 was still just a dirt road. Let's hope it will be here for generations more. Losing McMenamy's isn't progress. It's the purposeful elimination of something wonderful and incredibly special to, not only "townies", but recent residents as well. It doesn't deserve to be a footnote. Please like this page and invite others to do the same."
